Programming Guide 89
If you select fixed length format, there are three bar code labels for pro-
gramming your scanner to read either one or two fixed lengths. The
labels are:
Set First Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next two
programming labels scanned will define the first fixed label
length. This setting must be between 03 and 50
1
characters.
Set Second Fixed Length - instructs the scanner that the next
two programming labels scanned will define the second fixed
label length. This setting must be between 03 and 50
1
characters.
No Second Fixed Length - configures the scanner to recognize
only the first fixed length.
Start/Stop
Characters
Start/Stop Characters can be either Send or Don’t Send depending on
your host’s interface requirement. Refer to your host user’s manual to
identify your system requirements.
Start/Stop Match Start/Stop Match can be enabled or disabled.
Start/Stop
Format
Start/Stop Format can be set to one of four standard format options:
ABCD/TN*E, ABCD/ABCD, abcd/tn*e, or abcd/abcd. This setting
must match your system requirements. If you select one of these
options, it determines how the ASCII characters A, B, C, D (used for
Start/Stop characters) are translated before being sent to the host.
Read Verification Read Verification is the number of times the scanner is required to read
the bar code data before sending the label data to the host.
QuadraLogic
Decoding
QuadraLogic Decoding directs the scanner to decode labels with wide-
spread problems of spots, voids, and/or non-uniform widths.
To optimize your scanner’s performance activate this option only for
symbologies for which it is necessary.
There are many additional ways to configure the scanner to read and
decode extremely poor labels. Contact your sales representative or ser-
vice provider for other advanced QuadraLogic Decoding settings.
1. For this symbology, the scanner will decode up to 50 characters, but the actual length read will
vary depending upon the interface type, and bar code physical size and quality.
